Here's the deal at LE Cyrcee.

Accurate info.

The $40 is the standard,

They will ask for $40, but they should all still accept $30 (for 1 hour; actually some will say it's for a 50 minute "professional" hour).

[Simian]

When entering the bar, you get surrounded by 7 or 9 beauties, a warm welcome.

However I prefer a slim beauty, but like this, you can not mark the slim from the chubby ones.

So I ordered a beer, thought give it some time so I can choose better.

No way, all the ladies stayed wrapped around me, all trying to get my attention.

Finally, picked a pretty face, gave her a drink.

I know I don't have to give her I drink, but it offers some get-to-know time, some decency.

1st surprise:

I never ask the lady how much she wants; I offer myself. Asked if she agreed on 20 usd ST. She could not, 40 dollars would do. Gave her a surprised look, but she held on her 40 dollar.

Then, the yes or no is up to me, I will not discuss for 5 or 10 dollar discount. Keep it nice and friendly, even I know I overpay.

2nd surprise:

Asked for the bill, 17 dollar. Guess barfine included. Took the change, and 3-4 girls started shouting tip-tip-tip!

Never saw this in Cambodia, never payed any 'tip' as expected in Thailand. I gave 1 dollar tip.

3rd surprise:

Not a room upstairs, had to go out, a 5 minutes walk, payed 7 dollars for a room.

4th surprise:

Gave her the 40 dollar but she wanted 2 dollar extra for motorbike taxi.

Damage: 17 + 1 + 7 + 40 + 2: 67 dollars.

Think I better stick to the freelancers as in Martinis, Walkabout or Sharky. Many available for 15 usd, I always give 20. Sometimes they stay till morning, despite the agreement on ST.

The girl was good, but not worth the triple price. For me, LE Cyrcee is a place to miss. I don't care I payed to much, they can do that once: I won't go back, they will not see me anymore.

Have to remember a rule: never enter an empty restaurant. If no one inside, get out.

Indeed, I was the only customer at that time.

If you read the forum, even going back a few posts, you would see precisely how the pricing and the system works at this old establishment. If you put LE Cyrcee into the search engine on this site, you would see that they used to have an onsite room but have not had onsite room for years. I heard that this has as much to do with the local authorities as anything else.

Yes, of course you can find freelancers who might go with you for less although I think you will find that not only is the $20 fee for the girl a thing of the past, so is Martinis and I think Walkabout. The latter was known to have the highest incidence of HIV and other STD nasties around.

While freelancers in the old days were sometimes shy but always willing to spend long time with barang who had enough money for beer, food and something for the lady, nowadays you may find that your phone or money may also have gone walk about along with your freelancer. Which is why so many of us like to stick to bars where at least in theory there is comeback, even if only through reputation of the bar.

The great thing about LE Cyrcee is that it is open in the afternoon (when most freelancers are still in bed) and unlike various massage places is not hit or miss and you can make your choice. The costs are well-known too and you don't have to bring the lady back to your room. The girls are vetted and clean and know their work well. And long may it stay that way.

I think you will find that your freelancer is going to cost you something like the same, maybe $30-40 (she may say LT but mean ST) plus drink / food plus taxi plus whatever she can steal back at your place while you are in the shower. It could cost you a lot more and the experience be a lot worse.

You can of course go to the local brothels and find much cheaper especially if you can speak Khmei and have some front but IMHO that is not the experience that most Western men are going to relish where the girls are going to be rough, the decor nasty, a higher chance of being robbed and rushed action.

Hi NokBKK. None of these things are surprises. The $40 is the standard, has been for a while (I first paid that in April last year). The bar charge does include the bar fine, and the short term room is to the right and across the street as you leave Cyrcee. The 2 dollars she hit you up for, for motorbike, was just her way of getting a little cash from somebody who didn't look inclined to tip! So, don't feel bad--you didn't overpay. From your references to Martini's and Walkabout, I think your Cambodia knowledge is a bit dated. TTG.

[DrPecker]

Where are these places and what are the best hours to visit them? Are the girls as hot as the top Street 104 girls?

Martinis used to be a great FL venue I used to visit every trip, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it had closed down a few years ago.

Walkabout was near the Shanghai bar / Pontoon area about a block away from that intersection but also closed I think.

However, I got the feeling from other sources that PP might be a bit more laid back, and there are good bars that are primarily for the purpose of drinking and some bar girls are on hand if you are interested.

Did you really like Thermae that much? I did take a girl out of there my first night in town, but I think the girls there are mostly wasting their time. I liked the convenience of taking a girl to my room up in the Ruamchitt Plaza and then sending her on her way

I guess there are a couple of large outdoor type bars on Street 136 where you can drink and have only a few girls around. Guys in those bars always look like they're having fun.

As for laid back, it may be the case but the issue with PP you may have is that many times when you walk into a bar you will be the only or one of 2-3 customers. Girls are on you like stink. At Cyrcee for example you will usually be the only guy in the bar and I still remember the first time I walked in and 20+ girls swarmed me and a few were fighting for pole position. I look back and laugh because the only one who wasn't desperate and sat back was the one I chose, Ah Pov. This happens at many bars in PP. It's a bit awkward if you like a few of the girls but only want one for that particular night.

Thermae is great. I can sit in there for hours and just people watch. It's a human social experiment in itself! I find the girls hot and if you hook up with the right one it's great. There are mechanical duds in there though so go on chemistry more than just looks. It's a tad expensive to experiment.

[MongerTron]

Hi mongers,

Sorry for the delay in posting, I'm back from PP and and the memories are fading but thankfully I took notes so will carry on with the trip report on a day-by-day basis.

The main reason I enjoyed myself so much is undoubtedly thanks to the members of this forum posting about their experiences and by doing so giving me tons of pointers and tips, so I'll carry on posting about my experiences in PP and hopefully someone will benefit.

PP day 4.

Adee from Cyrees was due at my hotel at 4 pm so there wasn't much to do until then other than go out for a wander, get some food and withdraw some cash. It was a hot day and I bought a couple of bottles of water from a street vendor. They were sealed bottles and I swilled around the top but after necking them a strange taste remained, which I put down to the exhaust fumes from the traffic. Little did I know what was in store.

I'd told Adee the name of my hotel but wasn't certain she knew what I was on about due to the language barrier, so at 3:45 I headed down to hotel reception and sat out on the balcony to wait. Sure enough the phone rang before long and Adee was looking for me. Both the language and the noise were barriers this time, but thankfully her moto rider came on the line: "I have your girl, where are you?" Two minutes later they pulled up outside.

Adee looked fantastic, grinning away in the sunshine as she jumped off the bike. At first I couldn't work out why she looked so much hotter than before until I realized: No make up (she doesn't start at Cyrees until 6 pm). Just a naturally beautiful Khmer girl with no red lipstick or other cosmetics. She was really excited and bouncing about as we went up to my room. It dawned on me that booking in bar girls before they start work has a few benefits: They're not plastered in makeup, they're more energetic because they're not tired, and I suspected that because they've not earned any money yet that day they're more likely to put in a good performance to get well paid by their first customer.

Upstairs in the room as we showered together I feasted my eyes on her curvy body and pretty smiling face. After she'd finishing washing me I hung around in the bathroom just so I could watch her.

On the bed we kissed and cuddled for a while before she got down to business with a slow BBBJ, really wet and sloppy with lots of ball licking and kissing. She got me to the verge of ejaculation so I switched her to missionary and donned a condom. I forgot how tight she was the first time we were together, but she was hot and juicy and I eased my way into her. That's another thing I like about Khmer girls: The majority of them (though not all) get really naturally wet. Adee was no exception and was squelching away as we spent a few minutes going really slowly and kissing, then I ramped up the tempo, got her legs up behind her ears and gave her a really hard reaming.

Again it was getting to the point where it was going to end, so I switched her to all fours ready for some doggy action. Rather than keeping her pussy tucked away and me having to probe my way into her Adee is one of those girls who spreads her cheeks wide and pokes out her pussy ready to receive. Yummy! I knelt behind her on the bed and got back inside that hot, wet, dark Khmer hole. I started really slowly again, savoring the sensation and then very slowly sped up until she was getting pounded really hard from behind, with me gripping onto her tiny waist and occasionally peeking round to the side to see her medium sized breasts flying about. It wasn't long before yet again I was close to coming, so I withdrew, stood over her on the bed and entered her on a downward angle with me in a semi crouch, squatting up and down to penetrate her. Adee obliged by arching her back inwards and pushing her pussy upwards even more. I wanted to keep this session going by switching to another position but it just felt too good to stop, I was lording it above her, drilling downwards with all my weight into her and all of a sudden just exploded inside her. My balls must have been completely emptied into her because I kept pulsing away, a wave of giddiness overcame me and I nearly fell off the bed!

Afterwards we showered and got dressed, it was about 5.30 and Adee had to go to work. I gave her $40 which she gratefully accepted with a bow, I felt guilty about standing her up the night before so gave her another $10, bowing with my hands held high and apologizing. She squealed, pulled down my hands and pressed them into her chest saying "You are in my heart! Yeah right, she'd just been paid really well and knew it! I was off to Siem Reap the next day for 3 nights and then returning to PP afterwards so we agreed for her to visit me again at 1 am after she finished work in 4 days time, and she left.

After giving hotel reception permission for her to go (the novelty of that never wears off) I needed to decide what to do next, the whole evening awaited but I felt a bit tired and that giddy feeling was back. I hadn't eaten since lunchtime and still didn't feel hungry, but decided to go out for food anyway and then visit a couple of new bars to see what was on offer there. After food the nausea remained, I was in mongering heaven but just wanted to lie down. I decided to call it a day and get an early night, ready for the flight to Siem Reap the next day.

Day 5 to follow.

[AskeAske]

Hi Askeaske,

Why so negative? You are not to decide what one should or should not do. You are a senior member with lots of reports. Maybe lots of time to write them I don't know. But if I or someone else I asking a question are you the one to decide if we are allowed or not. If it provokes you, someone asks a question, without having written a report first, then just don't answer.

You are not the admin here, or are you?

Thank you for giving me the right to remain silent. I thought that I should comment on all the stupid questions, Kobenhavner Lasse.

[Eszpresszo]

Don't recall where you hobby in BKK but there aren't many bars in BKK that do not have a barfine or allow you to sit down and not order a drink. The $1 tip to the bar staff and $1 tip for a photo is optional, same as it would be in BKK. Using a $7 ST hotel is not necessary if you just go back to your own hotel. ST is $30-40 and LT is $40-70 in PP. Cyrcee is a bit different since they prefer not to go LT. I wasn't aware of a 1 drink lady drink minimum at Cyrcee. I usually have no issues buying a lady drink for 10-15 minutes of DFK and HJ / BJ in a PP bar. Maybe not so much at Cyrcee but most bars have some nice girls. Khmer girls are way more genuine than those BKK girls. In all my Cyrcee visits I've only seen 2 nice girls, Ah Pov and Sela. If you took away Thermae in BKK, I'd much rather spend a week in PP than BKK.

My experience in BKK is limited and I quickly decided I don't like the hustle of dealing with girls out of bars, and no I don't really like the go-gos and girl bars. Either. Some guys like those places, some of us don't.

However, I got the feeling from other sources that PP might be a bit more laid back, and there are good bars that are primarily for the purpose of drinking and some bar girls are on hand if you are interested. And yes, I had heard the girls are an attraction in themselves. I just want to get a feel for any annoyances and nasty vigs pushed on you. In any case, I appreciate your input.

Did you really like Thermae that much? I did take a girl out of there my first night in town, but I think the girls there are mostly wasting their time. I liked the convenience of taking a girl to my room up in the Ruamchitt Plaza and then sending her on her way, while I crashed hard after a 30-hour journey in those wonderful pitch dark rooms with no windows. For me, that's a package in itself.

[Banana Boi]

I am getting the feeling that Cambodia is the place where a lot of extra costs (tips, mandatory payments etc.) add up and reduce the value of the mongering experience,

Total spent $54 usd. Too much. I need to find a cheap freelancer somewhere next time.

Thanks for your input on pricing. I am very interested in visiting PP and Cambodia in general, which might be another year out, unfortunately. In your experience, how does PP compare to BKK in terms of price overall? I know its a much, much smaller scene and I realize it is not a Top 10 monger destination. But, that is no my sole reason for visiting Cambodia. I am getting the feeling that Cambodia is the place where a lot of extra costs (tips, mandatory payments etc.) add up and reduce the value of the mongering experience, and possibly non-mongering activities. It is always useful to get feedback on one's options.

BTW, I just back from the DR, which is a wonderful place to monger and relatively cheap. But, you have that problem with various parties wanting a "propina", not to mention each girl will almost hitting you up for one, before leaving.

[Franga]

Here's the deal at LE Cyrcee. When you enter you have to buy a drink. $2. 50 usd for a softdrink. You can't just barfine a chick and head out the door without buying a drink first. Barfine costs $10 usd. When you barfine a girl you also have to buy a lady drink. $3. 50 usd, even if you are heading out the door straight away. Barstaff will also ask for a tip. I left $1 usd. Total so far = $17 usd.

The girl will take you to the Happiness Guesthouse on St 51, a short walk away. Nice room with aircon and hot water, $7 usd. Girl will ask $40 usd to do the deed, but when offered $30 usd will agree immediately. Of course this negotiation is done in LE Cyrcee before agreeing to take her. Upon finishing the deed the girl will say how most mongerers will give her $40 usd, because they are so nice! As if I hadn't heard all this BS before. Ask for a photo and tell her that you will give her one dollar for the photo as a tip, and that will shut her up (as they won't agree to a photo).

Total spent $54 usd. Too much. I need to find a cheap freelancer somewhere next time.

[Nazgylg15]

Banana Boi,

110 - Spent some time in Double the on couple of days but there was a girl who pretty much cock blocked me. She clung on to me and wouldn't go away.

Office bar was busy when I visited and I was straight in and out.

I suppose I had pretty high expectations. The south east Asian physique is different from European build or Indian build. I don't prefer skinny girls or girls who are too elder or too younger to me. And beer belly is definitely turn off. It 's that moment, when you look at the girl, I decide if I want to take her. I just make the decision in few seconds and usually avoid staring. And not lot of girls prefer Indians, so are usually cold.

Street 104- I hit Rose bar. Lot of pretty girls but I thought they would, possibly be teenagers. Airforce and Xanadu. Straight in and out.

Street 110- Double the, described as above.

Street 136- Butterfly and candy. Straight in and out.

Street 130- angry birds, loco, honeypot.

Naga world. I went to Darling Darling on Friday, Chinese new year. Didn't find lot of WG but couple of girls were very interested. One was a mature Japanese woman and another girl had signs of drug use. (or at least I thought so). I really liked a waitress there and ended up going the next night, just to see her. The second night, Saturday, Japanese men kept most of WG busy. I was more stealing glances at waitress.

Pontoon-The first time I went there, I was with WG I picked up from LOCO. She was very particular that I visit pontoon in shorts, sandals, round neck and shouldn't wear a watch. I was interested in a tall booby girl and she was interested too. But I didn't want to make a move since I was with a WG. I went back on Saturday after Naga world but it was too crowded and she wasn't there. A couple of WG's expected 70 for ST but wasn't interested.

I was looking for LT and didn't consider LACyrcee.

During the visit, I must have spent close to $150 on drinks, I paid $30 to WG from loco for LT on top of $40 bar fine and $20 at pontoon. We had sex twice and she was with me till evening next day.
